Gosling leads inspired cast in unpredictable film 'Half Nelson'

By Leslie Adkins | October 4, 2006

I find it hard to understand why I loved the film "Half Nelson." I wasn't so naive as to assume this would be all smiles and giggles, but I also never anticipated being left so uneasy, so disillusioned and yet so in love with a story.

SITI Company romps hilariously through 'Midsummer'

By Leanne Mirandilla | October 2, 2006

This past Friday, the crowd buzzed eagerly in the Moore Theater while waiting for the first showing of SITI Company's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." As the audience filed into their seats, they were greeted by a simple but dreamlike backdrop of grey and white clouds and Puck (Jeffery Frac) playing a few chords on ... wait for it ... a banjo. It was fitting that one of Shakespeare's more revolutionary plays was performed by a theater company reputed for "creating bold new productions." When it was written in the mid-1590s, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" was regarded as Shakespeare's departure from the English Renaissance and evidence of his brilliant imagination.
